"Some words" is like saying the ocean has "some water" in it. And it's even not the article title. The og title is: "US Park Service erases the word ‘transgender’ from website commemorating Stonewall riot". Trans people started Stonewall, and freedoms we all (including cis and straight people) have today are due to them.

The actual headline appears to be "US Park Service erases the word ‘transgender’ from website commemorating Stonewall riot"

  Yeah the title should reflect the actual headline. Is the current "some words" title selected based on the belief that commenters or bots may be specifically looking for particular words to target abusive speech towards?

    Not OP, but that's what I assume. I don't think most people realize the significance of Stonewall, so that alone wouldn't tip them off. EDIT: aaaaand, 30 minutes later, it's flagged anyway.

    For sure. I did an experiment about a year ago where I submitted two different articles on the same topic, within the same 2 minute window. One had the word transgender in the title, the other didn’t. Guess which one was flagged into oblivion in under 30 minutes.

    Exactly, I was just trying to not get the submission flagged.

  I don't wish harm on anyone, including people aiming to destroy my family and my community. I only wish them to stop. I also don't care what happens to Thiel. As you wrote, he has enough wealth to escape. I care for all the kids and adults that would suffer real harm, and would have no resources to escape.

    I don't wish harm, but I also won't shed a tear if it happens.

      That's not the same, right? Not only I won't shed a tear, I might even throw a small party, but I would do nothing to hasten the day.
